Gemstone

Story

The logo “Legendary Jewels of Splendor” is used to refer to pieces designed and fabricated by the Hobe' family since the late 1880s in Paris. The tradition of this jeweler was to make beautiful items accessible to those of moderate means in the form of “costume jewelry”. Having quite a following in America since the late 1920s, collectors continue to seek out pieces to this day.

Not at all what we might refer to as costume jewelry, this sterling silver link bracelet borders on the superb. Fine silver open work characterizes each of five round panels decorated with a three-dimensional rendering of a rose flower in full bloom.

Careful attention has been paid to the smallest of details, such as the veins within each leaf. The panels are joined using a double set of connectors each embellished with three small orbs in the center. A tongue and groove clasp and linked safety chain completes the very current look.
